Properly tensioned, 32 spokes is plenty for the average person. Out of those two, I'd say Weinmann, I've had mine for a year and a half and they've been good to me. Mavics are a great rim, but can be expensive depending on your price range. Something like this might be better for you, they're cheaper than Mavics but are sturdy. http://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...7svbjcf39gv7e0
